1.6 MX5 enine tuning

[chrisponter]

Flyin Miata will supply you with pretty much everything you could ever want for an MX-5.

Forced induction is the cheapest when it comes to how much power you get for your money, and you'll be able to get a decent amount out of the engine before you have to start strengthening the internals.

Flyin Miata supply several turbos for Mk1 MX-5's and you can get superchargers from Jackson Racing, Performance 5 or use an Eaton M45 from a mini. The mini one is probably the cheapest, takes a bit of work though.

The cylinder head has room for improvement aswell.

I reckon leave the engine till the car is built and you have had a chance to give it a shake down. A mate with a kent engined westie did exactly that, he had a spare engine in the shed and gathered all the tuning stuff for next to nothing on a grab when its cheap basis. Got some really nice stuff for nine parts of nothing.
